    For all of You Train Lovers

    It's used not just for tie replacement, but to lift and level. Those four gray/silver vertical arms near the center of the machine in the photo that Coronet-Arch posted are used to thrust into the ballast on either side of a tie, then they angle inward on all sides, compressing the ballast...

    In reality, the ties are usually above the ballast. They have to be for track securement inspections.

    Does anyone make scoop screens?

    My Pontiac Formula 400 hood scoops had screens that looked like this: They kept leaves out and weren't too restrictive.

    For all of You Train Lovers

    It has been a long time since I set up a train set (N gauge). Do they make track in a more modern version to simulate the concrete ties that are becoming the norm on real tracks?

    What’s with the rear spoiler?

    It was an option, but wasn't available right at the start of the 1970 model year. It was introduced after a few months, and the trunk lid stampings were changed to reflect this; besides the outer skin mounting holes, the later inner bracing has the holes meant to secure the inner wing brackets...

    Things the car factories did that made no sense to you

    They started with the inline six, but offered a 304 V8 after a few years. The Pacer was also one of the first American cars to use rack and pinion steering. People liked it enough to sell over 145,000 in the first year. I thought the later station wagon version looked less bizarre. The 'X'...

    Filming for that movie didn't finish until around the middle of July 1964, but Ford made sure the movie got a quick car... Goldfinger - The Mustang Source

    My fellow Canadians ... PG Classics ????

    I've had both their seat covers and foam for a 1970 road runner. The seat covers actually fit fairly well, but the rear seat trim is way off, the white trim on the seat and back are nowhere close to lining up. Front seat foam however was a good fit. I didn't buy rear foam so can't say.
